Alien Knights

Chapter 99: See you frankly

  The Holy Envoy of the Papal Kingdom, Tristan, left Musi Town after personally verifying the glass making process.

   Before leaving, he reminded Todd of one thing.

   The jurisdiction of the Knights is directly vested in the Pope, and Todd, as the general commander, will no longer have any connection with the Diocese of Silver Ring. Although his priesthood will not be taken away, the deacons and assistants in the church will all be withdrawn to the Cathedral of St. Cote.

   This also means that after the official document of the Holy Ministry is released in October, Todd will be the only one left in his church.

   This is undoubtedly a huge bad news for Todd, who entrusted all the town's government affairs and church chores to his subordinates.

   After the Papal State mission left Musi Town, Todd immediately found all available people under his hand and began the first group meeting of the Musi Knights.

Huggins (his twelve subordinates did not attend because they were responsible for the town’s security patrols and enemy investigations), Alfonso and his three followers, Edgar and Jerry, Rachel, and Ka Lin even has Pamela.

   Todd stood at the table in the side hall of the church, his eyes straight. Carlin and Pamela who laugh and play in the audience, Walton who is not awake and hiccuping, Rachel who is elegantly sniping on pomegranate, Alfonso who is unstable and needs support, and has a dull face. Little Jerry...

   Todd buzzed in his head and buried his face deeply in his hands.

   My God! These people are all the members of the Musi Knights...

   The energetic Todd took out the decree of the Papal State and explained to everyone what had happened in the past few days. Some were excited, some were shocked, and some looked confused. He explained the current situation of Muxi Town and the situation of the Knights to everyone present, and asked three questions:

   One, what do we need most now?

   2. How can we get what we need?

   3. What should we do now?

  As for the answers to these three questions, Todd had some ideas in his mind, but he still wanted to hear the opinions of the audience. Karin, Edgar, Little Jerry and others don't need to count on them at all. He pinned more hopes on Huggins and Alfonso.

Alfonso first said: "I used to read church books and gave some introduction to the rise of the church knights. Most of the funds for the knights were donated by the secular kingdoms, and the personnel were recruited through parade lectures and visits. "

"It's a good idea to raise funds and recruit people through a parade." Todd thought of his "performance ability", thinking that this might be a good way, he touched his chin and asked: "How long does this method take? Time can form combat power?"

   Alfonso recalled, "According to the records and historical records, if all goes well, it will only take about ten years."

   "Ten years?!"

   Todd shook his head desperately. Taking into account his alien identity, if the Twilight Knights could only form combat power after ten years, he would have been beaten in the middle so that there was no scum left.

   Hudgens made the second speech: "The Knights can also persuade the nobles to join, and the latter's property and military strength can directly become the combat power of the Knights."

   Persuade the nobles to join the Knights?

   sounds great, but Todd had to give up this idea as long as he thought of his bad relationship with the silver ring nobles.

   "My lord, do you have a plan in mind about funds and personnel?"

   Todd frowned when he looked at the woman who was talking. After the envoy left Musi Town, he recalled everything in the last few days. The words and deeds of Rachel and Tristan made him feel that something was wrong in the recent past.

  Richel once said that he would help him solve the troubles of the Knights and the Crystal Relic, but it happened that Tristan appeared with the oracle.

  As soon as the mission of the Papal State arrived, Rachel told himself that alien refugees were hiding outside the town.

   Before entering the camp with the refugees, he happened to run into Tristan.

   So many coincidences.

   Todd stared at Rachel with confusion and suspicion on his face. The latter did not show any guilty conscience. Instead, he smiled and straightened up his waist and straightened his chest. The wide nun's robe suddenly formed a close-fitting curve, and his exquisite figure was unconcealed.

Todd blushed and looked away. At the same time, he pretended to be calm and coughed: "I can think of ways to deal with funds, but the personnel is a big problem. Especially the administrative staff of Muxi Town and the Knights. There is no substitute in time."

  Rachel tilted his head, seemingly not worried about this question at all: "My lord, have you forgotten something? There are many such talents, and you should know many of them."

   Todd was confused: "Who?"

   The woman turned the cross on her chest with her index finger: "Have you forgotten where you used to study?"

   Todd thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

   After explaining the matters followed up by everyone, the first session of the League Affairs Conference came to an end. Todd, who walked out of the door of the church, planned to think carefully about how to persuade the monks who only knew how to chant and study all day long to join the Knights of Muxi.

   A figure blocked his way.

   looked up, the dean of the nuns stood in front of Todd, with a familiar but headache smile on his face: "Master head, do you have time? Let's talk?"

  ————————————

   Under the guidance of Rachel, Todd stepped into the gate of the Nunnery for the first time.

   The Nuns’ House is a two-story masonry building. The area is not large. The upper floor is a place for nuns to rest, and the lower floor is for them to worship and eat.

"I didn't just come to a family of four the other day, why is there another alien here today?" Looking at the puppets and charcoal on the table on the first floor, and there are graffiti of simple stick figures on the wall, Todd Said to Rachel in front of him.

   The nun walked to the door of the storage room at the end of the first floor, and turned around and said, "Master Chief, didn't Heavenly Father say that there are people struggling and suffering in the fire of karma every day. Isn't it time to save the lamb?"

   Todd was taken aback, and responded: "Why does your tone make me feel more and more like a nun? Also, don't call me the commander-in-chief anymore, it sounds strange."

   "Well, Todd." Rachel's voice was barely audible, and she twisted her right hand and opened the door of the storage room.

   "Hey? Wait a minute, you hid the person in the storage room?"

   answered the question in silence, Rachel removed two bags of forage and lifted a movable door panel on the ground with both hands.

   Looking at this similar scene, Todd was surprised, rolled his eyes, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Well, why do people in the Middle Ages like this one?"

   Under the door, the spiral staircase went down, and Todd became more and more frightened as he walked, and a bad premonition gradually came to his heart. Relying on the construction level of the Middle Ages, the excavation of the space below the ground is definitely not a project that can be built by a few craftsmen in a short time. Most likely, the construction site of the nun’s house above is just a cover, but the real main body of construction is underground.

   When he stepped down the last step, the sight in front of him stopped his brain from thinking, and he took a breath unconsciously.

In the underground hall of one hundred square meters, there are countless small rooms separated by wooden boards and soil. The elderly, children, men, and women huddled in each compartment, drinking the dirty water in the wooden barrel and gnawing on the clay pot. Medium discoloration and moldy dough.

   Someone recognized the identity of the visitor, stood up and shouted: "The Savior is here!"

   Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Todd opened his arms, showing the greatest kindness possible on his face, before he could say anything. People rushed past him and gathered around Rachel.

   With an embarrassing smile still on the corners of his mouth, Todd slowly put his hands down, looked back at the nun surrounded by people, and slowly said in a gentle tone: "Miss Rachel, do you have time? Let's talk?"

  ——————————————

   "How many people are underground?"

   "Well, 52 people, 19 adult men, 17 adult women, 7 elderly, 9 children."

   "When did they arrive in Muxi Town?"

   "The earliest was a month and a half ago, and the latest was the day before yesterday."

Sitting on the wooden chair at the table, Todd covered his forehead with his hands and looked at Rachel standing in front of him with a low eyebrow. He sighed heavily, and his tone was a bit annoyed: "According to you just now According to the statement, the escape of the family of four a few days ago was just a temptation?"

"Um."

   "Those chasing soldiers in the heretical court are you looking for someone to pretend to be?"

"Um."

   "The decree brought by the emissary of the Pope~www.NovelMTL.com~ is also part of your plan?"

"Um."

   Todd was waiting to ask another question, and there was a knock on the door, which made him have to pause the questioning.

   Hudgens pushed the door and walked in, took a look at the nun standing in the room, bowed his head and said to Todd: "My lord, as you ordered, clean water, food and medicine have been given to the refugees underground."

   "Thanks for your hard work, find someone to watch them, don't let them run to the town."

Seeing Huggins exit the room, Todd rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the nun: "Wait, you didn't need to take me underground today. Those plans and secrets you mentioned. There is no need to tell me. Why do you want to tell all the things? You are not afraid, I am angry and drive you and those alien species out?"

   The woman raised her head, the expression on her face made Todd feel a little strange: "I believe you."

"Rachel, I really don't understand what you are thinking." Todd leaned his head back and closed his eyes: "You have worked so hard, what do you want me to do? Are these alien species sent to the relief club?"

   The woman did not respond.

   Todd was a little strange, sat up straight, opened his eyes, but the scene before him made him dumbfounded and almost fell off the chair.

   The nun turned her body and turned her back to Todd. She untied the large nun's robe and pulled it down to her waist, without any barriers under her clothes. On the white as frosty skin, between the two half-moon-shaped shoulder blades, red ink is engraved with the pattern of the eagle spreading its wings, and under that is also marked with a line of number strings with ancient Roman numerals.

   "My lord, what I hope is that you can build a refuge for all alien species, a sanctuary without slavery and cruelty..."
